The Colbert Report has issued a challenge to the Internet: Photoshop (or Gimp, or MSPaint...) Stephen's portrait into something cool or funny, and presumably, the best ones will be featured on the show or linked to on their blog or something.

Since redditors know a thing or two about pixels, we'd like to add a challenge of our own: add the reddit alien to Stephen's portrait (hi-res version) and post it in the comments. We'll give a rally t-shirt to three winners: the one with the highest "top" score, the one with the highest "best" score, and an admins' pick.

Oh, and even if you can't draw, you can still get one of these limited-edition shirts for $25 on our BustedTees page. 10% of the proceeds go to DonorsChoose (where, incidentally, the grand total is approaching $600,000!)

Last Friday, we introduced reddit gold "creddits", which are essentially one-month gift certificates you can bestow upon deserving redditors. Over the weekend, we included three creddits as a bonus to anyone who signed up for a year of gold.

The test went well, with hundreds of months being given and hundreds of redditors getting to try gold for the first time. And today, we've added creddits to the reddit gold shoppe. They're the same price as regular subscriptions: $3.99 / month, or a 12-pack of creddits for $29.99 (which works out to just $2.50 / month).

On top of that, you can now give gold anonymously, and / or include an optional gift message:
